Apprentice Program
(New program begins March 2010) Sometimes there are far more applications than spots...if you've applied previously, you can re-apply, if the program still seems suitable for you.
Is this the right program for you? This program is designed for those of you who are excited about moving onto your path as a healer, but aren't exactly sure how to go about it. You have taken at least one healing arts modality, and maybe several. Each time, you get home full of enthusiasm, but then the magic seems to fizzle. You believe that these methods work, but you don't quite trust that you're doing it right. Maybe you'd like to transition a current bodywork or counseling practice to make best use of consciousness-based healing modalities. Or, you may want to start a practice, but you're not sure where to start, what to charge, or how to get clients. If any of this sounds like you, this program is the right one for you. We will focus on moving you into a confident space where you are the healer you want to be. You'll learn how to develop and mold the modalities you already know to best fit your style and personality--and you'll be amazed at your results! You'll learn how to trust your intuition and move into confidence every time you begin a session. You'll also learn some key strategies for assessing your work.
Prerequisites: Matrix Energetics Level 1 and 2 or some other energy modality that you want to develop and work with. This program does not teach any specific healing modality, but leads you to develop the methods you already know into usable skills that work for you.
Please Note: This program does not teach Matrix Energetics, and I recommend taking the seminars if you wish to learn; however, if you have been to the seminar, we will have a similar language to work from.
Goals of the Program:
During the program you can expect:
• to become proficient in energetic healing work
• to learn how to make an energy modality work for you
• to increase and expand your awareness and intuition
• to learn some basic strategies for healing that work well for others
• to create a structure of your own to work from
• to understand yourself and what you bring to the sessions more fully
• to learn how to start your own healing practice
Format of the Program:
Thanks for your interest in the apprentice program. Based on the feedback from the latest group of apprentices, the format of the program has been slightly revised. Please read the goals of the program, as this course is best suited to those who are transitioning a bodywork or other type of practice to a consciousness-based healing arts practice or to those who are sincerely wishing to develop skills enough to begin such a practice. Expect to work on clients during this program, even if they are volunteers, rather than paying clients. Having people to practice on regularly is the only way to develop confidence and skill.
Here's how the five month session will look:
Monthly each individual will meet either in person or via phone with me for one private session. This session will include individual coaching, experimenting with your process, and occasionally some healing that you may be in need of personally. We will address questions you bring to this session, and for the most part, you can expect to be the one "doing" if there is anything to do! These private sessions are less about me "fixing" you and more about coaching you into your successful healing practice. The flow and subject for each are based on what you bring to the session; that is, there is no set curriculum of study. You learn and explore what interests you.
Each month the apprentices will all meet with me together as a group for the second session via teleconference. This is an exciting addition to the program that comes highly recommended by the previous group. We will determine a focus for each meeting, and the group will explore and learn together, which is an excellent opportunity to see the variety of "right" ways to do things. The group will decide on the topics that interest them. Since there will be only a maximum of six apprentices, each person can expect lots of interaction on each call.
At the end of the program, the apprentices are each invited to attend the two-day Shadowing Workshop in Seattle that I've designed for practitioners. This is a chance to shadow me in a type of "clinical" setting. The benefits of seeing real world application was one of the most beneficial parts of my training, and my goal is to offer that opportunity to each of you as well. The date of this workshop has not yet been determined, but currently I'm shooting for August 2010.
The program will run for five months, March through July, for a total of ten meetings.
The apprentice program also includes email support in between sessions, and we will also have a private yahoo group for those in the program to stay in touch and offer thoughts on the group sessions.
Currently I have two general times under consideration for the group teleconferences: Tuesday or Wednesday at either 9:30 am Pacific Time or 5:00/6:00 pm Pacific Time. These times should allow people on both the East and West Coast to participate. Your application will ask you for times you prefer, as well as times you absolutely couldn't do. We'll try to find a mutually agreeable time for all. We will record the teleconferences in the unlikely event that you miss one! We will try to have the group meetings at the same day and time each month to avoid confusion, unless a change is unavoidable for some reason.
